Implications of recent earthquakes on seismic risk : papers presented at the Japan-UK Seismic Risk Forum, 3rd workshop, 6-7 April 2000, Imperial College, London, UK

Recent earthquakes: observations from two recent earthquakes -Kocaeli, Turkey, and Mount Parnes, Greece damage of bridges in the 1999 Kocaeli, Turkey, and Chi-Chi, Taiwan earthquakes vulnerability functions for Japanese buildings based on damage data from the 1995 Kobe earthquake. Engineering seismology and geotechnics: modelling of stress-strain relationships of a reconstituted gravel subjected to large cyclic loading the feasibility of using real accelerograms for seismic design elaboration of a SSI macro-element with uplift of shallow foundation. Structural earthquake engineering: experimental studies of the response of hollow bridge piers a transparent nonlinear method for seismic performance evaluation an evaluation of load carrying capacity of beam-to-column connections limited by fracture.
